Definitions

  • the present invention is generally in the field of materials used as substrates on which artists can paint an more specifically in the field of coated canvases for artistic painting and in the field of coatings for canvases and the coated canvases allowing the canvas to be used as a medium for accepting watercolor paints.
  • 3853579 to Heiser discloses a coating containing a plastic polymeric pigment for applying to a paper substrate.
  • the coating is both for opacifying the paper and for providing an improved writing surface.
  • the coating comprises discrete, substantially spheroid, plastic, polymeric particle pigment having an average diameter in the 0.3 to 0.8 micron range.
  • the patent claims require printing applied to the coating, which leads us to believe that the specific formula for the coating may not be overly unique. In any event, this is a paper coating and is not for allowing one to watercolor on canvas.
  • Several of the known but unsuitable inventions include the following coating and printing techniques. US Patent No.
  • 4065596 to Groody discloses an artist's board comprising a rigid backer, a front paintable member and in intermediate resilient member with the purpose of the intermediate member being to allow the front member to flex so that the entire board has the feel of canvas alone.
  • US Patent No. 4562107 to Daniels discloses coating textile fabrics with a curable polymer binder, an opacifier, and a pigment to obtain washfast, opaque printed areas that are substantially unaffected by the base color of the fabric.
  • US Patent No. 5167704 to Brower discloses a soy based ink meant to simulate watercolor without the disadvantage of watercolors.
  • Nonweiler discloses aqueous emulsion-based coating compositions with a latex binder whose primary use is for coating hard substances, such as polymers and metals.
  • US Patent No. 5700858 to Deir discloses a plastisol paint that requires heat curing to harden.
  • US Patent No. 6051059 to Aisner discloses a liquid art medium for creating three-dimensional art and contains an acrylic polymer.
  • US Patent Nos. 6258412 and 6423379 to Ewing disclose a method of making an artistic medium that is mineral based in an acrylic polymer binder.
  • US Patent Nos. 6403673 and 6410363 to Groves disclose water dispersed primers for improving adhesion to substrates and is photoreactive.
  • the present invention is a flexible coated material that can be used as a medium for watercolor and related techniques and methods and also are suitable for inkjet printing using water-based inks.
  • the present invention covers both woven and non-woven materials comprising a coating formulated to properly accept watercolor paints, watercolor pencils, acrylic paints and water-based inks applied by inkjet printers, and also may be suitable for painting with oils and for drawing with pastels and pencils.
  • the present invention may be considered a multi-purpose material canvas for use with all of the major coloring media. Canvas is the preferred substrate because of its common use by artists for acrylic and oil paintings.
  • the preferred embodiment uses natural fibers such as cotton and linen, which have a greater affinity for moisture making them a preferred base for the large amounts of water that are a part of these techniques.
  • the coatings are based on water-based latexes such as latexes based on acrylic and vinyl polymers, and combinations thereof, with acrylic latexes being preferred owing to their demonstrated utility and durability as a medium for artist applications.
  • the coatings also comprise materials to provide the wetting and absorption of water by the latexes.
  • An illustrative formulation for an exemplary coating comprises acrylic latex, pigment, defoamer, calcium carbonate, talc, surfactant, polyvinyl alcohol, and water.
  • FIG. 1 is a side sectional view of an exemplary coated woven substrate.
  • FIG. 2 is a side sectional view of an exemplary coated non-woven substrate.
  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention is a coated material that can be used as a medium for watercolor and related techniques and methods. This material also is suitable for inkjet printing using water-based inks.
  • the present invention covers both woven and non-woven substrate materials comprising a coating formulated to properly accept watercolor paints, watercolor pencils, acrylic paints and water- based inks applied by inkjet printers. Further, this coated material also may be suitable for painting with oils and for drawing with pastels and pencils, and thus may be considered a multi-purpose material for use with all of the major coloring media. While both woven and non-woven substrate materials are suitable for this invention, the preferred embodiment uses a woven substrate material such as canvas because of its likeness to those canvases used by artists for acrylic and oil paintings. And while a wide variety of natural and synthetic materials can be used to weave the canvas, the preferred embodiment uses a material made with natural fibers such as cotton and linen.
  • Natural fibers have a greater affinity for moisture making them a preferred base for the large amounts of water that are a part of these painting techniques.
  • the coatings disclosed for this invention are based on water-based latexes commonly used to prepare artist canvas for the more traditional painting methods utilizing acrylic or oil paints. Latexes based on acrylic and vinyl polymers, as well as combinations of acrylic and vinyl polymers, are part of this invention. Acrylic latexes are preferred owing to their demonstrated utility and durability as a medium for artist applications.
  • the coatings for this invention incorporate materials to provide the wetting and absorption of water by the latexes. The amount of these materials necessary, however, is unexpectedly low so that the basic physical properties of the coating are not substantially compromised. This allows the finished article, namely the canvas, to be scrubbed to repair or remove a mistake or other undesirable features in a painting without harming the coating.
  • Preferred embodiments of the coatings comprise the components shown in Table 1.
  • the paint mixture is mixed with a water soluble polymer to create the coating mixture.
  • the water soluble polymer is first is dispersed in additional water, and the water soluble polymer and water mixture is added to the paint mixture, as the water soluble polymer and water mixture is hydrophilic.
  • Preferably from 5 to 20 parts by weight of water soluble polymer is mixed with from 80 to 95 parts by weight of water.
  • the inclusion of a water soluble polymer is to allow for the proper absorption of water by the coating and canvas.
  • the water soluble polymer can be added to the paint mixture at ratios of 1 to 30 weight percent based on the weight of the solids in the paint. For example, if a paint formula was 60 weight percent solids, there would be 0.6 to 18 parts of water soluble polymer for each 100 parts of paint mixture (60 parts of paint solids). The preferred ratio would be 2 to 10 weight percent of the water soluble polymer.
  • the coating mixture then is coated onto the substrate, allowed to dry or is dried, and the resulting coated substrate is suitable for accepting watercolors.
  • the latex base can be selected from the group consisting of but not limited to acrylic latexes, vinyl latexes, polyvinyl latexes, other common and known latexes, and mixtures thereof.
  • the pigment dispersant can be selected from the group consisting of but not limited to known, common, and future developed pigment dispersants suitable in the coating field in general and the paint-related coating field in general.
  • the defoamer can be selected from the group consisting of but not limited to known, common, and future developed defoamers suitable in the coating field in general and the paint-related coating field in general.
